@Leanna S. Yes, this happened in my school. No matter how many times you tell staff, it stops for about one day then starts up again. Another student mentioned in a letter that she'd spoken to her form teacher and he said it would just blow over, and she believed that the teachers didn't really care. Why talk to authority if their methods involve doing nothing or blaming the victims?

Just remembered, there's another time when Wartz does that. In Season 3, there was an episode where he slipped on fake vomit. We find out at the end that it was dropped by the drama teacher accidentally, but Wartz just, completely at random, accuses Sid because he was one of the kids laughing. Would he listen when Sid tried to defend himself? No. Did he have any kind of proof, other than the fact that Sid was laughing? Certainly not. Did he even think it might have been a different kid since most of the cafeteria was laughing? No way! I know it was an exaggerated episode, but I'm pretty sure similar things can happen on a smaller scale and the accused student is given no opportunity to explain it's not their fault, or if they do, they aren't believed.

Student Teacher is #2 on my hated HA episodes (obviously Arnold Betrays Iggy as #1). WTF happened with Olga? Her first appearance, people could relate to her "Ms. Perfect" upbringing. As much as she adored the attention, she hated having to work so hard to be flawless that the thought of "above average" would cease that infinite praise. She even admitted how she envied Helga never getting much attention yet has more spine and tells it like it is. Olga and Helga finally had some middle-ground to start a more healthy sister bond but the episode pretty much trashed Olga.

I remember I used to *hate* Curly's Girl when I was younger. And I still do. This episode just left me confused and baffled. Everyone, including Arnold who's supposed to be the voice of reason, and Nadine, Rhonda's "supposedly" best friend, is horribly out of character. I don't fully understand what they were trying to do here. I don't even get what moral they were going for. I thought this episode was just an awful, poorly executed mess.

You could make a very slim argument that the reason Rhonda didn't tell anyone about the blackmailing is because she didn't want to admit that Curly wielded power over her for a short time. That's in line with her character, but it's not necessarily what the writers were thinking. Also, another note: I think Curly's line of thinking was that if Rhonda was forced to give him a chance, he'd win her over. That obviously was never going to happen, but Curly didn't even consider that his plan wouldn't work.

@slick_3617

5 жыл бұрын

Great points. I think this was a bit of a character exploration rather than a simple moral lesson. And as for Olga being "stupid", I think it was more so that she was out of touch with Helga and the kids. She's always been perfect, it's likely that she doesn't realize how much of a jerk most kids can be so she sees the best of them, she sees herself when she's the 1%. And Helga's feelings toward her don't line up with her experiences because she's just projecting her parents failure on to Olga because she sees it as her fault. Best thing about this show is characters have real flaws and behave like real people rather than a mindless collection of tropes. You could also say the point of Curly's Girl is that don't always be so quick to judge people in the moment, things might not be what they seem.

If sixth season ever comes out there needs to be at least one episode in which Arnold learns at least some of Helgas deeds. Mainly the one from the Christmas special and the one from the Valentines special. It would make some awesome bonding between them and I think it would be a shame to let those beautiful moments left unused in their relationship.

I think the message that Curly's Girl is trying to get across is "Own up to your mistakes." Since Curly was being terrible throughout the entire thing, he wants to make it up by "letting her off the hook." Doesn't make up for the other stuff, but it's a good start.

hey jem good reviews and i completely agree especially with number 2 1 being the worst. However, in student teacher, it should be known that olga's character on this episode reveals that her straight A's education is hollow, meaning that it is revealed that despite having great grades, she has learned every little from them. as in Olga comes home, her having to perform in front of her family also reflects on her education. she only gets straight A's because she has to, not because she wants or is actually learning from it. i think student teacher reveals that but it is not explicitly shown. as for Curly's girl, that episode sucks because i feel Curly completely wasted a great opportunity for Rhonda to get to know him. instead of having him and Rhonda just hang out and talk, he goes bonkers and forces Rhonda to act as his gf and he you said it, there is no moral of the story here, only perhaps condoning Curly's behaviour. the same can be said for Egg Story

Whenever I watch your reviews, I find them unpredictable. But what you will say about the episodes themselves, I predict everytime.

Full Moon- I hated this episode a few times before and do now! Because I felt so disappointed that Arnold was being unfairly punished! So I consider this episode to be one of my worst picks. Principle Simmons- Okay, I don't hate this episode as much as you do Jem. But it's not perfect either, I consider it to be "Meh." Bag of Money- I hate this as much as Full Moon. Same troupe used again in this episode: Arnold being unnecessarily tortured. What made me mad is Sid. I just hate his appearance in this episode for so many reasons. But I do consider it to be as bad as Full Moon. Student Teacher- Okay, I don't hate this episode as much as you do as well Jem. I know Olga's role in this episode didn't click with me. But I don't hate this episode. DIShonorable mentions: Big Sis- "Meh." New Bully on the Block- "Not half bad." Egg Story- Arnold's worst appearance in the entire series. But it does remind me even Arnold is not perfect and can have OOC moments and this episode is just so bad that I cringed at this episode. But I do like the decent ending though! Curly's Girl- Okay....I don't hate this episode. I just found it really underrated for me to explain. So, it's not that bad. So that's my opinion on your picks of the worst episodes of Hey Arnold. Even if I suffer through the bad episodes, I STILL FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

What bothers me might be that it mirrors uncomfortable real life experiences of having people around scorn you because the toxic person convinced everyone you're at fault for wanting to break away from a bad relationship.

Follows the exact setup as Roller Coaster, except Roller Coaster is actually good. Season 5 was awful. Honorable mention: Big Bob’s Crisis (mostly for how it ends). Helga ends up encouraging bob to go back to how he used to be (verbally abusive and rampant with toxic masculinity) because that’s the dad she loved??

@strangetownie6888 I hear ya. I wish that it had benefited from a rewrite and gone into a 'Rhonda's Glasses' approach where the first 3-4 minutes are left intact but have Arnold show Rhonda the rough lives of these poor people in town and her learning something in the end. I will say on a positive note though: If HA! ends up coming back for a sixth season (with the characters aged up), I can see Rhonda going through a redemption arc as well as Arnold dating her while temporarily breaking up with Helga. (Just like that early Family Guy episode where Peter and Lois were forced to go on a trial separation) And I think the reason why Rhonda's the way she is may most likely be due to her upbringing. (AKA her parents)

Girl trouble shouldve been at least an honourable mention tbh

You're awesome, Jem! Love your videos!

And Helga on the couch is my favorite

17:21 you notice when she pulled out the detention slip it already had Helga's name on it

By the way, there's something i just discovered about the episodes you listed. Did you realize that one of the writers for the majority of these episodes was Steve Viksten? Michelle Lamoreaux also shows up as one of the writers for both Student Teacher and Principal Simmons (the only one Viksten didn't have a hand in on this list), but Viksten also has sole credit for writing Arnold Betrays Iggy.

Viacom just pulled a Viacom

"Curly's Girl" doesn't even make sense from a character standpoint because everyone involved should know by now just how repulsed Rhonda is by Curly.

Facts

How come you never mentioned or put "Phoebe's Little Problem" on this list? Many people hate that episode because to them it's a poorly written episode. Phoebe accidentally lets out gas after she ate prune cookies and got so humiliated and eventually became depressed to the point where her classmates had to come to her house to cheer her up. It's a story that is set up very well, but they botched it up when the writers basically had to shove Helga to the background and cut Gerald out altogether to make Arnold the star problem solver again. Would have been better if Phoebe could have counted on either Gerald or her best friend Helga to try and help her out more in the beginning, even if their ideas ended up failing. In my opinion, it is a Top 5 Worst Episode, and could be an episode pretty close to "Curly's Girl" and even "Arnold Betrays Iggy" the latter of which will always be the worst in my opinion.

I think the moral of Curly's girl is to teach kids about what can happen if you disobey your parents

Something interesting: Sid's behaviour in "Bag Of Money' actually mirrors his behaviour in "Sid The Vampire Slayer", when he looks for reasons to believe that Stinky is a vampire, but the thing is, all that happened was that they make a joke about it after watching a vampire movie. The premise doesn't feel like as much of a problem because Sid has freakouts about supernatural elements in other episodes, but still, he tries to kill his best friend until Arnold points out that he has a reflection...and the end of the episode suggests that Sid was right all along. My point is, this behaviour Sid exhibits in "Bag Of Money" is not unusual for him. It's just a lot crueler.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't hate New Bully on the Block. I'm not a fan of the episode at all but again I don't hate it

It probably didn't cross his mind.

I watched Curly's Girl, and the only part that made me laugh was how Curly said, "Doesn't it? Or does the excitement THRILL YOU?!" The only reason I laughed at that was because of how over-the-top Curly said those last two words. He's still a disgusting little creep in that episode, especially with how the character, if not the episode, has been accused of justifying sexual harrassment (look up the episode on the Hey Arnold Wikia under Reception), but that was the only part that made me laugh in that episode

My worst Hey Arnold episode is Girl Trouble, it's not as bad as Arnold Betrays Iggy, but it is terrible for Helga's character and this episode is her at her worst where she goes too far without any sort of punishment, the bad for the amount of slack she gets and the ridiculous amount of Double Standards. You should review that episode Jem and tell us your take on it.

I think the Curly's Girl episode is about kidnapping and Stockholm syndrome. How Rhonda is actually the victim and Curly spins everything so that everyone gets mad at her when she does leave.

Arnald Betrays Iggy, New Bully on the Block, and that episode where Helgo goes too far in antagonizing Arnald-she let the paint he wanted on him and he douses some on her and GETS in trouble!

@@LilyZerep I personally think curly’s girl is worse than arnold betrays iggy. At least you can sympathize with Iggy to some degree, I mean his embarrassing secret was leaked so you can understand his anger. It’s the fact that he was an SOB thereafter. However, curly was a little SOB right from the get go and there’s no sympathizing with him. He uses Rhonda’s jacket stain problem as a means of taking advantage of her. He blackmails and forces her to be his girlfriend, there’s no excuse for that. After the relationship was over and she harshly broke up with him, rightfully so, everyone in the school hates her and curly just lets it happen. Then you have characters like Nadine and Arnold acting completely out of character by joining in the backlash. Then at the end we’re meant to believe that Curly redeemed himself by letting Rhonda off the hook. Only that doesn’t even begin to make up for all the misery he put her through. So with that being said I think Curly’s girl is far worse than Arnold betrays Iggy.

​@@grizzly_manbanimation8436 I disagree, the fact that Arnold was set up to look like a villain is the main reason Arnold Betrays Iggy was so bad. The episode also punished Arnold for no reason and justice was never given to Arnold, also the fact even his grandfather was in on embarrassing Arnold which was out of character. It just felt like an Arnold torture episode. And unlike Curly and Rhonda, Arnold is actually likable.

People use "Egg Story" as an example of Arnold being out of character, but you can at least understand him being frustrated with Helga. A much better example of him being out of character is "Gerald's Game". Before it was established that Gerald was addicted to the game and allowing it to take over his life, Arnold completely dismissed his interest in it ("It sounds dumb to me.", or something to that affect.)

It had a positive turnout tho... Anyway great list; I really enjoyed hearing ur thoughts.

@strawberrysoulforever8336

4 жыл бұрын

You think Ms Perfect should've been an honourable mention because you feel Phoebe was OOC? I don't know - Phoebe feels very insecure when her place as top of the class is threatened, which was why she was all for picking on Lila. But it's true when the girls apologize to Lila at the end and her dad even gets the job he wanted, it saves the episode.

Curly's Girl is sort of an abbreviated form of Can't Buy Me Love an old rom com. Its premise is that a popular girl gets into trouble nerd guy bails her out with his money in return for dating for a period of time.

Well Arnold didn't know Helga liked him in the episode the egg also him putting his foot down isn't to much outta character if he's finally had enough of her crap and the only lesson I can think that Curly's girl was trying to teach was that it isn't ok to blackmail people because Curly did learn it was wrong of him to do that to her in the end. But they definitely didn't do it in a smart way.

Another dishonorable mention: "THE SEWER KING", from Season 1. Two words to describe this episode: 'frustrating' and 'forgettable'. After Arnold (with Gerald accompanying him in this 'underground journey') retrieving the watch to his grandpa, Phil drops it back through the sink, thus making the watch return to the Sewer King. Right after that, grandpa Phil reveals that he has a drawer full of watches, much to Arnold's deception. It brings me a feeling of unfulfillment! Doing a favor to someone important to you to gain their trust and then that person ruins your expectations... I forgot this episode back in the day and I decided watching the whole series sequentially. And I felt disappointed upon watching it again!

One thing that bothers me is a huge cliche in Anime Most villains are psychotic, arrogant, and completely insane They're made this way because it makes their defeats more satisfying, but they really aren't The reason why it's a cliche is because it's been done a billion times When Jotaro (The main character of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's 3rd part) defeats Steely Dan (a minor antagonist and one of those cliched psychotic, arrogant characters) it isn't even satisfying at all because it's exactly like the defeats of many villains I've seen already (The characters that are in the same category as Steely Dan) As for cartoons, I remember watching Futurama and liking it Then I saw the extremely messed up sausage festival episode The one where everyone thinks Fry got....

10:14 Ah yes, the episode SO terrible I turned a fan-character of mine into a young attorney JUST to speak in Arnold's defense.

I didn’t know that this was re-uploaded, because I never seen this video before.

I don't like Curly's girl but I don't hate it either because it made me realize that Curly and Rhonda are interesting and under written characters 😂 I like how Brainy despite his character only literally existing so Helga can get a taste of her own stalkish medicine, is less creepy than Curly. But Curly is also more interesting since he gives me school shooter vibes hut he also has his moments (eg. I like how Curly was never a reoccurring character until the episode where Rhonda became a "geek" and inspired the other geeks to stand up for themselves, Curly probably saw Rhonda in a different light because of that. I also like how Curly and Rhonda are exact opposites but both have their moments. I could imagine if they did get into a relationship, Rhonda would learn how to care less about clout and materialism too much and value other parts of herself, and Curly could learn how not to be creepy and not shoot the school when things don't go his way 😂)

Nice image choice to describe the Top 5 Worst "Hey Arnold!" episodes, and showing Arnold really mad is SO CLEVER!!!!
